because...

1 is the loneliest number, yes i know 2 can be as bad as one...

In my opinion advantages to having a DOHC engine over a SOHC is that the engine has twice as many intake and exhaust valves as a SOHC motor. This makes the engine run cooler and more smoothly, quietly, and efficiently.

Yes i know there are some other valve combinations as well. Some engines, like the D15 in a Civic and the C30 in an Accord, have 4 valves per cylinder but are SOHC engines.... This meaning there are four lobes on one camshaft for a single cylinder. With four lobes, or cams, per cylinder, they become smaller and wear easier which is a draw back. With one camshaft though, this will make the car lighter for better performance.

"This makes the engine run cooler and more smoothly, quietly" This is bullshit the only thing true is efficently. But U get better torque numbers out of SOHC... FACT

maybe in a straight line, but bring it out to the autox where i race. I will dominate him. No doubts there. And i definetly win the looks contest hands down.

boosted 2003: back up your FACT that sohc engines make more torque with some dyno charts. Make 'em similar cars too.....
